The reason Grimshaw runs with the ball is because he can't pass, cross or shoot.

I made it along on Saturday. The minutes applause had me in tears. At least my old man would have got a laugh at the most typically Motherwell performance we've put in this season.

He's a thoroughly decent lad and a true Well fan. Good luck to him.

I'm a huge fan of Tait but unfortunately his pace is getting him in to trouble more often than not nowadays. Its shaded ever so slightly again over the summer. Not much in between Tait and Grimshaw now IMO. Both different skill sets. Tait a better technical footballer but nowhere near as direct/fast/dynamic as Grimshaw.

dont agree with this slaughtering of grimshaw. His so called headless chicken runs up the park are exactly that they get us up the park! his run other week v hibs set up hyltons goal and im sure he started the move on sat to pass to cole who then turned and created campbells goal. When players arent playing they somehow become better in some peoples eyes as they cant be judged. Tait is a better crosser of the ball than grimmy but not a better runner with the ball or as aggressive without it. I for one am more than happy with grimshaw at right back. !st goal on saturday was caused by our cdm (donnelly) being nowhere and gardyne able to run from halfwayline unapposed to our 18 yard box. If you are a cdm positional play is everything and he wasnt there. Saturday was a blip imo and reminded me of the times when we somehow managed to beat or draw with celtic from what i feel would be.. their perspective in that we were in control of the game but then some things went against us that will not happen every game i.e sending off which was debateable, bad substititions at wrong stage, good goal disallowed, penalty claim not given etc . Plus as a lot mention whenever we start believing we are favourites it in my experiences of being a well fan for 30 odd years usually goes wrong.

We put Tait to left back because we didn't have a left back. He was playing well at right back at the time.

Robbo never takes the blame, is always the officials or players. Sorry Robbo but you got your substitutions wrong on saturday which did have an impact.

I'm a fan of Tait's workmate and moving forward he adds a lot to the team. I don't believe he's a good right back. He regularly got roasted and thats when we decided to put Cadden into the position and move Tait to the left. This for me is the heart of the issue. He's not good enough defensively to be the wing back. That said he works his nuts off and is ok going forward. He's better in front of the right/left back but this honestly feels like making the team formation fit to enable him to play. Long term grimmy isn't the answer either - why we don't just invest in a decent right back is lost on me.
